Bit of a howler there to probably end boroughs season

Can't think of a worse playoff final than Hull vs Southampton but deserved over a season. At least it's not Wrexham.

Boro with another choke job after doing well most of the season. At least McGree is healthy and done with it now. He should move to a European league next season. A more manageable load of matches.

That's one thing I felt. Always out of position. Shooting way over. I remember the U20 WC in 2009 and the captaincy had gone to his head. Either hogged the ball or passed back.

Wasn't he told to stop training so hard in The Netherlands as he was overdoing it? He matured well but was a really frustrating player for the national team.

Nah, Arnie told him to cut out the extra training sessions at the Mariners. His coach in the Netherlands (Van Gaal) told him he couldn’t shoot.

Both coaches presumably right.

Both coaches presumably right.

I still have nightmares from when he was played at right back against Brazil or France in 2013…

After all the spying they did Southampton really still got to play in the final. Pissweak from the EFL.

Giuseppe Bovalina played the entirety of Orebro's 1-0 Superettan win over Varnamo.

As a boro fan I thought the gaffer was a bit safe needs a massive overhaul Sammy is probably going to leave

Örebro looking like they could get promoted. Could we see an Aussie in the Allsvenskan next season?

Celta Vigo take the lead with a swift ground cross and tap in from close range. Ryan was on the 6 yard line and the cross was swift just ahead of the penalty spot. I guess that's the kill zone but I wonder about keeper movement of shuffling on one's side rather than sprinting forwards to crosses.

Ryan shouldve stopped it. Had time and was close enough.

The other keeper was woeful in that game.

Hopefully they stay up.

I'd have taken that if it had been offered at the start of the season. Getting the numbers up.

I have been underwhelmed to be honest. His first year out of the youth league, sure has racked up some minutes and is playing at a reasonable level, however has managed only 1 goal and 2 assists this campaign. Was expecting enough to see him in the calculations for the WC. Will quite possibly go to Florida but certainly hasn't kicked on since the last World Cup. Very similar numbers to those he got in the eredivisie two seasons ago. Would be fantastic to see him constantly in Socceroos discussions come Asian Cup.

And 700 minutes is just under 8 full games, not many minutes for nearly a whole season.

Agreed.

It seems that often the kids we consider "wonderkids" seem to drop off and never really reach their potential. This seems especially true for the guys we tend to take as bolters in world cup squads.

Examples: Nathan Burns, Ben Halloran, Arzani, Kuol.
